Frontlines of Archaeology

The human desire to explore our past reveals insights into our present and future. From caves inhabited by early humans to the grand cities of Angkor, the world is filled with mysteries of our ancestors that continue to captivate our imaginations and illuminate our world. For the 2023 Lecture Series, we invite you to explore the Frontlines of Archaeology with four intrepid explorers whose fascination and research of the past have unearthed incredible insights into human history.

Inspiration for the 2023 Theme 

The special exhibition Angkor: Empire of Cambodia inspires this year’s lecture series and will take you on a journey of scientific inquiry into one of the greatest civilizations of the past. Today Angkor is a cultural treasure to the Khmer people and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Angkor is a living heritage site and home to numerous significant religious monuments and temples, which attracts over two million tourists every year. See the exhibit at NHMU now through April 23.
